With Jason, a powerful figure at the Seven Star Fiend level, on the road ahead, things became much smoother.
Jason wasn't particularly proud of his recent victory over a Seven Star Fiend, as his opponent was clearly one of the weaker Seven Star Fiend, relying heavily on speed and surprise attacks.
However, this battle also made Jason realize that he needed to create new moves. Especially the Death Clone, compared to the Lightning Clone's "Arc Flash", the Water Clone's "Crystal Space", and the Fate Clone's "Time Acceleration", the strongest clone did not have a powerful ultimate move.
It was obviously not suitable for Jason to practice his moves on the Metallic Airship, and he was also embarrassed to make the whole family slow down and wait for him. He could only simulate and practice in his mind sea and wait until the family was settled before doing so.
After crossing the "Fangjian Sea" between the Muya Continent and the Blood Peak Continent, the Rhine Clan arrived at the "Redbud Prefecture" at the southwestern tip of the Blood Peak Continent.
After a brief stop in Banner City, the capital of Redbud Prefecture, to gather some intelligence, the Rhine Clan set off again towards Indigo Prefecture.
Delisha, looking at the latest intelligence from the Blood Peak Continent, said, "The Indigo Prefecture has been unsettled lately, mainly due to the war between the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the Eight Great Clans. Members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan in our group, remember to be careful and not be discovered by the Eight Great Clans."
Delisha looked at Monica and the others.
Veronica, Monica, and Wharton were already prepared thanks to Jason's reminder. However, Naya, who had been rescued from the Netherworld by Jason, trembled uncontrollably upon hearing that a family dared to fight in the Skyrite Mountains, the main base of the Four Divine Beasts Clan Deity-level.
Jason didn't pay attention to Naya's unusual behavior; the arrogance of the early members of the Four Divine Beasts Clan was evident in the original story. He wasn't worried about it either, as the original story stated that the battle between the two sides would mainly take place in Blood War Valley, and as long as they didn't attract attention, they would basically not be discovered along the way.
"Let's choose a settlement first, then I'll take them to Indigo City to confirm Lord Beirut's attitude before deciding how to go to the Four Divine Beasts Clan," Jason said.
The Four Divine Beasts Clan definitely needs to make a trip. The bloodlines of Veronica, Monica, and Wharton haven't been activated yet, especially Wharton, who is still at the Saint-level. He failed to seize the enlightenment he had about the Edicts of Death.
Jason naturally knew that Beirut was aligned with the Four Divine Beasts Clan, but the other members of the Rhine Clan were unaware of this. Jason still needed to put on a show; it was best to consult with the leadership first on such matters.
The Indigo Prefecture is located in the northwest of the Blood Peak Continent. Starting from the Redbud Prefecture, the Rhine Clan traveled with great anxiety because of the affairs of the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the Eight Great Clans. They even took a long detour along the west coast and sometimes even left the land to fly over the Star Mist Sea.
What should have been a straight-line journey of twenty years across the continent took the Rhine Clan over eighty years to reach Indigo Prefecture.
"Phew, we're finally here!" Delisha stretched and yawned, looking relaxed.
Jason was in high spirits. The Indigo Prefecture was Beirut's territory, and now even if a palace lord was chasing him, he dared to pull out his token and scare the other party away.
Those around them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the journey that had taken hundreds of years had finally come to an end.
Especially those from the Yulan Continent, after witnessing the prosperity and terror of the Higher Planes, realized that the "master" from the same plane was still a "master" even in the Infernal Realm, which made them feel emotional.
Bessalie hadn't reached her destination yet; her goal was to see Beirut: "When are we going to Indigo City?"
The capital of the Indigo Prefecture is called Indigo City, which is also the location of Beirut.
Jason reassured him, "No rush, let's find a place to settle down."
Bessalie looked at Jason: "Since your family is migrating as instructed by Lord Beirut, I suggest you bring your entire clan with you. Perhaps he will arrange a place for you."
"No, our Rhine Clan wouldn't trouble him with something as trivial as this."
Jason had already discussed this with the family's higher-ups. If they wanted to become Lord Beirut's vassal, they couldn't rely on him too much. They had to demonstrate the Rhine Clan's potential and strength, and be able to establish themselves independently in the Indigo Prefecture in order to truly gain respect.
After all, Jason was Beirut's servant, while the Rhine Clan's goal was to become an ally of the Beirut Family.
"Let's stay here for now. We'll move after we gather more information about Indigo Prefecture." Delisha pointed to a lake in front of them. The scenery was nice, though the resources weren't abundant, and there weren't any particularly strong enemies.
It's just a temporary place to stay, so there's no need to be too picky.
Delisha, as the patriarch, summoned the family members. This was merely an internal meeting of the Rhine Clan, with only Freya, Tarosse, and Bessalie, the three "outsiders" confirmed as nominal elders, present. The rest were all members of the Rhine Clan.
Delisha said, "Everyone, our relocation is temporarily complete. There may be minor adjustments later, but the impact will not be significant. Family management will continue as arranged in the Netherworld. Elder Jason will go to Indigo City later to await the Indigo Prefecture Palace Lord's reply before deciding on the family's final location. Does anyone have anything to add?"
"We need more detailed intelligence, especially the distribution of major forces within the Indigo Prefecture, as well as the strength and networks of each city lord."
Jason said, "I'll collect these when I get to Indigo City."
Then some other details were raised. The Rhine Clan had migrated for over four hundred years and even crossed a plane. The Saint-level were feeling quite stifled, and even the Deity-level were finding it hard to cope.
Delisha nodded. "Then, let's have a family banquet tomorrow!"
"Oh!!"
When the Rhine Clan was smaller, they often had group banquets. As the number of members increased, the number of banquets gradually decreased. Now, everyone is happy to hear that there will be a banquet.
Three days later, Jason arrived with Bessalie, Veronica, Monica, Wharton, Naya. Jenny, Wharton's wife, also came along.
Twelve Demon, ten of whom were Demon when they first arrived in the Infernal Realm, and two Demon recruited after Jason and Veronica reunited, also came along. They needed to go to the Fiend Castle to complete their mission.
Freya, who has been accepted as a nominal elder because of her good relationship with Delisha, is also there.
With two Six-Star Fiend, Delisha and Tarosse, along with several Highgod who Refine Divine Spark, the Rhine Clan shouldn't be in any danger.
Jason's group was quite large, and Jason even specially released a top-tier Metallic Airship to travel. You should know that Wharton and Jenny were only at the Saint-level, and they couldn't withstand the rapid flight speed of a group of Highgod.
Jason watched Freya leave the main group, giving him time to observe this "nominal elder" of the family.
"What, Lord Jason, are you interested in me? Don't forget your wife is here," Freya teased.
Jason turned his head slightly and said, "Seriously, why would Lady Freya, a Six-Star Fiend, be interested in joining our little family?"
Jason and his group had been communicating with each other using their spiritual senses regarding the situation in Beirut, and hadn't yet shared it with these Demon.
"You are a powerful being at the level of Seven Star Fiend. As Demon, is it wrong for me to submit to a powerful being?" Freya's profession is Demon, and her true form is also a succubus.
Jason looked up at the other person with a warm gaze, but did not speak.
"Alright, alright! I'll confess." Freya shrugged. "I fell in love, and then I broke up with you. I happened to run into you bunch of Demon relatives, and Blood Peak Continent is my hometown, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to go into seclusion."
Jason blinked, a storm raging in his mind. "A succubus falling in love is normal, but heartbreak—"
Well, Jason couldn't find anything unusual about Freya for the time being, and besides, she really didn't have any motive to harm the Rhine Clan.
Perhaps Freya and Delisha are truly destined for each other; after all, not everyone in this world harbors ulterior motives. Jason, having transmigrated over a thousand years ago, has been constantly cautious and has forgotten what the peaceful environment of his previous life was like, and the last time he encountered a friend with whom he had no vested interests.
